pickApril 2025 Book #4
I enjoyed this book inspired my true events. I was absorbed in the book but also I was searching for some historical events. I like the author‘s writing style. Love the cover. After I finished the book, I bought three more books by this author. Couldn‘t finish them this month but looking forward to read them later. 3.8/4⭐️
pickThis is such a great series!
I love Ruby's voice; her inner conflict and the drama that she endures is so intense and authentic
I would have chosen a different ending to the love interests, but I can be cruel like that.
I just found out there's a fourth book that came out 4 years after all this, so I definitely need to get my hands on it!

It may be the only challenge I finish this year but it‘s a good one. Mostly thanks to @dabbe and the Shardlake buddy read and @BarbaraJean for the tagged buddy read.

My last mini chunkster for the year! Starting this today and hope to read 10 pages a day and finish next month.

so-soI struggle with this one.
I didn't connect with any of the characters, in fact I kept thinking that if it weren't for Kyle (who I hate, by the way) this whole story wouldn't exist.
The slow pace, character driven plot just didn't grab me like the Farseer Trilogy did.
However, I understand that Hobb develops her stories over time, and I can see a lot of potential in this trilogy and its importance in the overall Elderling series.
pickThis is an awesome second book.
In YA, I often run into what I like to call middle book syndrome – where the second installment seems to lack enough content for a full story, but without that content, the final third book just wouldn't make sense.
Alexandra really nailed it with this one.
It is action packed, power driven, tense and dark featuring a high-stakes rebellion and political oppression.

Here‘s my #10beforetheend selection. I‘m always looking for something that encourages me to read what I already own.
A few will do double work for the #OffMyShelf challenge.
The Quincunx will meet #Allergictochunksters and #ChunksterChallenge2025 .
It‘s also a holdover along with The Illusionist from the #14Books14Weeks challenge. 🙊
pickIt's taken me about a year to get through this. Though not as fast paced as the previous two it had a resonance and a reflective nature that I enjoyed after I had settled into the pace of it.
Highly recommend and a fitting end to this amazing trilogy.

I‘ve been forgetting to note when I finish a book that qualifies for #chunksterchallenge2025. Here are all the books I‘ve read this year that top 500 pages. 3 “bitsy” chunksters but one fully qualifying chunkster. The Shadow Rising is my #allergictochunksters pick that‘s been sitting waiting for me for more than a year. It was so good, though! Looking forward to starting book 5 …
